Interesting how all of a sudden through "sustainable development" initiatives it's time to get them out of the way. It's a crackdown that involves punishment for them - and punishment for you, too, if you decide to help them at your own expense and goodwill. One city already had a plan ready for an indefinite detainment camp for homeless people. Someone from the area came forward to us to say the reports of "the problem" to justify the infringement were overblown. The bureaucratic minions and its code enforcers care not about the reaction. It's been happening in England, too.

It seems like the theme of the year is "this homeless problem." The
coordinated efforts to sweep the homeless away are of major concern for a
couple reasons. First, the real problem was created by the same ilk
that are proposing the solution - in both cases it involves
dehumanization, banishment, punishment and apathy. Next, when people
allow the vulnerable to be taken away, do they really think it would
stop there?

The Internet became outraged with the CEO of
Abercrombie & Fitch's comments about only wanting cool and skinny
people wearing his clothes, and the idea that they'd rather burn their
clothes than give to the unfortunate. The popular Internet
counter-reaction actually unintentionally further relegated the homeless. You can see varying responses to our articles about EBT users and the homeless programmer
who was arrested and his two possessions taken. Different authors on
our site have different attitudes. A commenter said, "....who cares! I'm
suppose to care about some homeless guy in NY who was put in jail?
What's his background? Why would I waste a single moment on this?" MORE
